I'm generally very good at spending money wisely. That said, I end up buying something truly random every now and then. A certain purchase last night is a case in point.
There was some leftover roast chicken in the fridge after lunch with Kate's side of the family. We fancied some sandwiches with a couple of nibbly ...

It never ceases to amaze me how my kids are able to get one over on me. Despite being obviously older and allegedly wiser than them, they all record regular victories over me.
Alarmingly, I have just realised that a large number of these are while they are asleep. Yes, they can literally beat me with their eyes ...

We're big fans of LEGO games and were excited when we heard that LEGO City Undercover was coming to Xbox One. The new release - previously available on other formats - follows the fortunes of Chase McCain, a cop returning to LEGO City having left under a cloud.

A few weeks ago, we got back from Sunday lunch at my parents' house. We were tired and, ...

So a video game that I've been looking forward to for ages is coming out tomorrow. I saved a £10 gift card for almost a year to put towards it. That's how dedicated I am to playing this one. And, yes, it's THAT wildly inappropriate one that includes just about everything unsavoury you can think ...

I recently completed an Xbox game that, it’s fair to say, I became a little obsessed with. The title in question was the excellent Batman: Arkham Asylum. As well as enjoying every last minute of it, I realised that there are a few at-best tenuous parallels that I thought I could draw between it and ...

Kate and I often talk about what we think Dylan will be like when he reaches that horrible phase that is being a teenager. Well if my influence this week is anything to go by, there's a good chance he'll be a bit of a geek.
I started the week by getting more excited than the ...
